Automated Data Collection & WMS: Empowering Your Operation With Real Time Acc...Angela Carver
Logistics businesses worldwide are increasing in complexity to continue to meet and exceed their customer’s needs. One way these businesses are adapting to these changes is by diversifying their operational technology portfolio. Logistics centers and manufacturing facilities worldwide are implementing a wider variety of technologies to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, increase data availability and optimize labor productivity. All of these things cannot be done by simply purchasing the latest and greatest technology. You must integrate these technologies so that they may perform as one effective network. These networks are developed for automated data collection purposes.
Automated data collection (ADC) networks are designed to work in unison to automate processes within the warehouse and provide a constant, accurate flow of data. These networks can be comprised of industry leading mobile devices including voice picking solution, fixed barcode scanners, and mobile and vehicle mounted computers. These devices, used in conjunction with industrial printing solutions, barcode labels, RF and RFID networks and your warehouse management software (WMS) can support your facility as it grows in both size and complexity. Ensuring your business has a strong foundation for this network is crucial – your WMS must be able to collect, share and store all data being collected all while directing activity within your facility. Select a WMS with the functionality to integrate and communicate with these devices to help ensure your ADC network performs effectively.
The adoption of automated data collection is due largely in part to the increasing popularity of omni-channel retailing and increasing compliance requirements. Customer orders are becoming more complex and must be fulfilled at a faster rate than ever, all while maintaining strict quality and regulatory standards. With the help of an established and fully integrated ADC network, logistics businesses like yours can rely on the technology to assist in simplifying and streamlining inventory management processes.

Functional scope
SWS Platform is an integrated
workflow engine with seven processes
specific to Water Utilities:
Work Order Management
The solution involves work order
creation (issued internally or
externally), technical planning, work
order planning, distribution to field
service organizations, assignment to
resources, performing work orders
in the field and export of work order
results.
Device & Meter Data Management
SWS Platform collects meter data
and manages remote and manually
entered meter readings. It maintains
an asset register that contains
information about installation sites
and devices, as well as a meter data
register that is accessible in the
system.
4. 4
and material management. When
scanning devices and pallets, the
same PDA used by technicians in the
field when performing work orders is
used.
Resource Management
SWS Platform also administers
system users (including technicians),
their skills, qualifications, and
access privilege, user roles, teams,
skills to perform specific work
orders, tools and instruments used
when performing work orders, and
resources availability.

Figure 2: Smart meter roll-out operations tracking
Monitor & Troubleshoot
It monitors meter performance and
communication status through
analysis of collected and delivered
values, and monitors how measure
points and multi-points are
communicating.
Customer Management
Customer Services may be managed
by the field service organization
and/or by an external customer
service organization. Incoming and
outgoing customer phone calls and
emails, time reservations, customer
service requests and mailings are also
handled.
Material Logistics
The platform plans, monitors, and
controls the flow of meter devices and
material through the supply chain,
from manufacturer and warehouse to
client site, until they are mounted in
the field; and controls transportation,
inventory, warehousing, material
handling, packaging, stock site
through domains. The “enterprise
belonging to” is defined for each
entity – installation site, case device
customer, area, stock site, pallet,
business-specific system data.
Users can only access data owned by
the enterprise they belong to.
3. Area Management
Different types of areas can be created
in the system: Region, Milestone Area,
Collection Area, Net Area, Operation
Area, and Service Area. Areas can be
created with or without coordinates.
Areas with coordinates (referred to as
geographical areas) can be created by
defining the area in the map. Areas
of the same area type cannot overlap
each other. Cases, work orders and
installation sites (with coordinates)
are updated with the corresponding
geographical area automatically
when created in the system. When
coordinates are missing, an area
belonging to it can be updated
manually.
5. Utilities the way we do it
Accelerate and Simplify Smart Meter Roll-out and Operations 5
4. Language Support
Built-in language support means that
all text items in the application can
be translated. The system supports
translation of Graphical User Interface
(GUI) Items (labels, buttons etc.),
Messages, and System Data (static
data delivered with the system).
“SWSP Translate” is a standalone
application for language support. It is
used internally to register text items
to be translated and used externally
to translate text items. Each customer
can define their own translation of a
text item in a supported language.
5. PDA, Smartphone and Laptop
Support
The PDA client is a software
application run in a mobile device
used to perform work orders in
the field and to manage materials.
Work order handling includes the
functionality needed to perform
different types of work orders. Stock
handling includes functionality
related to goods reception, palletizing,
and stock taking, etc. PDA support
is available for positioning and
navigation. The PDA can scan bar
code labels from pallets and devices,
and print bar code labels. Photos
taken in the field with a PDA can be
attached to work orders. The software
can be updated remotely.
6. Map Support
Basic map functionalities include
zoom (mouse scroll), scale (100m –
160km), soften map (0-100%), display
points (measure points, multi-points,
work orders etc), display points
relations, display geographical areas,
focus locations and mark points in
the map, color coding and legends.
It helps to identify the geographical
areas where meters have been
installed, and helps users view meter
status, infrastructure and work order
planning, the assignment of work
orders to technicians and teams, and
navigation in the field with the PDA.
Figure 3: Work order assignment
7. Calendar Support
Calendar support can be used in work
order planning when making time
reservations and when assigning work
orders to resources. The calendar
can be used to register and view user
availability and absence, view planned
and assigned work orders and cases
over time.
8. System Configuration
Some system configurations can be
performed in the system such as:
yyCreate New Case Types – based on
general case group with a new name,
case-specific rules and parameter
configuration like average work
order time, number of calls for time
reservation, set time for call (day,
a.m., p.m.), notification or not
yyMailing Templates – graphical
configuration of data placement (.
pdf or .csv)
yyWorkflow Engine – configure the
